Massachusetts Clean Water Trust Backs $244.5 Million in Infrastructure Funding
The Massachusetts Clean Water Trust has authorized $244.5 million in new funding for water and wastewater projects. The capital will be distributed through the state's Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds.
